A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?"
And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards."
And you know what? He is.'
Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a β€œthe city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

Had a dream last night that I was in a D&D-style adventuring party and a Tucker Carlson-like character turned up and offered to support us by telling the public that everyone we killed deserved death. The moral of the story is: don’t read The New Yorker before bed.

I’ve noticed many anti-Trump conservatives being more bold in their opposition than Congressional Dems, especially this time around, but this is indeed something.

β€œBut what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."Β 

Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

It is, in fact, scarier to recognise that the future's darkness may conceal good outcomes than to declare that evil days are foreordained. You feel like you're in control, you're savvy, you won't get got, you won't be made a fool of. There's comfort in all of that.

So.

You don't know what to do. You are scared, angry, and you can't believe this is happening. You can't believe it might happen to you, to your community.

What do you do now?

I think it’s in there! It’s a really good story. Frankly, I feel a lot of despair about art and media in general these days and I’m glad you’re fighting the good fight!

Really liked this story! A pleasingly ambiguous tone.

The reason I dislike the term "content" is that it centers a container, a money-making structure, and reduces creativity to interchangeable "stuff" that exists only to fill that structure.

Just call it writing, videos, whatever it is. It's not something for another thing to "contain."

I do not understand why Democrats aren't saying "this Greenland shit is indicative that the president is not in his right mind and it is time to invoke the 25th amendment" except that almost every American politician does at heart believe we should rule the world with military might

McCartney: "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End" (this is one song, don't @ me, etc.)

Lennon: "Don't Let Me Down"

Harrison: "I Me Mine"

Starr: "Octopus's Garden"

I guess this means I’m not serious, because I think this song is great!

This will continue as long as poorly-trained, unprepared, heavily-armed, masked federal agents with self-esteem issues roam our streets abusing basic constitutional rights and targeting, harassing, & terrorizing immigrants & citizens. Most Americans rightly will not put up with this. No fucking way.

It doesn't matter one bit how good the poem is, but on top of everything else, it's a good poem.

I love how, in the book, Frankenstein IMMEDIATELY reacts to the creature with "Oh I fucked up bad", closes the door behind him & crawls into bed

It's so relatable. Spending 6mo rushing into a stupid thing w/o considering what happens next & deciding "Perfect solution: I won't consider it at all"
